Includes the holy sword Graydalpha, effect parts for the Digitalize of Soul, and hands.

The front and back of the PET material cape are quite different in color.

The wing hinge section is identical to Omegamon's, and the method of expanding the wings by sliding them sideways is the same as well.

Excellent limb articulation

The forward/backward range of motion at the shoulders is limited.

You can get a bit more range of motion by angling the hip joints down 45 degrees.

Figurerise Standard Alphamon - Together with the Figure-rise Standard Omegamon X-Antibody. The shape of the capes themselves

Together with the Figure-rise Standard Omegamon X-Antibody.
The shape of the capes themselves differ, but the same parts are used for the cape framework.

Alphamon from the Digimon series has been released as part of the Figure-rise Standard lineup. Like the previously released Dukemon / Omegamon X-Antibodyit's a black character sporting a PET material cape. The cape skeleton parts are actually straight-up reused from the Omegamon X-Antibody runners, and some of the skeleton parts are also recycled from Dukemon.

While some parts are reused like that, all of the main body's exterior is brand-new sculpting. The striking black and gold combination gives it quite a flashy look, and it delivers excellent articulation with solid joint strength. The PET material cape also has a premium feel to it, and just like the Omegamon X-Antibody, you can detach and reassemble it into a spread-out configuration. As for weapons, the holy sword Graydalpha is included, along with effect parts for the Digitalize of Soul and a one-handed grip.

The overall quality is top-tier for an action figure model kit — there are more parts inside than you'd expect, so assembly takes quite a while, and the sticker work plus putting together the PET cape is pretty hands-on too. That said, it's a kit that clearly had a lot of effort put into its development, and honestly it makes me think there must be quite a few Digimon Adventure fans among the Bandai developers.

Either way, if you're a Digimon fan this is definitely an appealing kit, and even if you're just drawn to the look and style, I think you'll have a pretty satisfying build experience. :-)
